New York-based 3D artist and CG director Gal Yosef has reimagined the world of Pokémon in a way that’s equal parts stylish, funny, and surreal. Known for his hyperrealistic digital work, Yosef takes familiar fan-favorite characters and drops them into scenarios you’d never expect. The result? A fresh series of 3D Pokémon art that’s both eye-catching and entertaining.
Some of the illustrations lean into fashion parody. Picture Pikachu, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur decked out with Poké Balls inspired by Supreme, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci. It’s a mashup of childhood nostalgia with high-end luxury that feels both bizarre and brilliant.
But Yosef doesn’t stop there—his sense of humor takes center stage in other pieces. Snorlax lounges happily with McDonald’s-themed Poké Balls, Pikachu gets trapped inside one surrounded by dollar bills, and a hilarious group shot squeezes multiple classic Pokémon into one jam-packed frame. These playful touches make his work stand out in the world of digital Pokémon illustrations.
What makes Gal Yosef’s Pokémon art so special is how he balances surreal visuals with cultural references we all recognize. It’s a mix of luxury branding, internet humor, and beloved characters that fans can instantly connect with.
If you’re curious to see more, you can dive into his portfolio on ArtStation, Instagram, and Behance. One thing’s for sure: after seeing Yosef’s take, you’ll never look at Pokémon the same way again.
